21st, 1892, and will continue until March 14th, 1893.
There will he a vacation, commencing December 23d, 1892, and end-
ing January 4th, 1893.
A preliminary examination will he required of all students enter-
ing the first year, and also of those from 'other colleges which require
no preliminary examination.
COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
Five lectures will he given each day, exclusive of clinics. Lectures
on theory and practice, materia medica, surgery, obstetrics, diseases of
women and children, and ophthalmology and otology will he delivered
in the clinical lecture room of the State Homeopathic Hospital. Lec-
tures on anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and medical jurisprudence
will he delivered in the building of the Medical Departmet.
While in attendance on lectures of the Medical Department, stu-
dents will be entitled to all the privileges accorded to students in
that department, and will conform to all the requirements of said de-
partment, so far as such requirements may apply to the branches
which they pursue.
The course of instruction is graded, and extends over a period of
three' years, as follows:
First 1 car.— Lectures on anatomy, chemistry, materia medica
physiology, surgical dressing, and attendance upon all clinics.
Second Year. — Lectures on anatomy, chemistry, materia medica.
physiology, with recitations and laboratory work, and final examina-
tions upon these branches at the end of the year, also lectures on the-
ory and practice, obstetrics,, diseases of women and children, minor
surgery, and all clinics.
Third Year.— Lectures on theory and practice, obstetrics, diseases
of women and children, surgery, and ophthalmology and otology, to-
gether with recitations, exercises and clinics. During the Senior year
students will receive special practical instruction in physical diagno-
sis, mechanical obstetrics, application of bandages, splints, and sur-
gical dressings.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.
st udents of bo1 h sexes are admit bed on equal terms, and afforded in
all respects the same facilities for acquiring a thorough medical edu-
eat ion.
OUTLINE OF THE PLAN OK INSTRUCTION.
Instruction is given by lectures, recital ions, clinics, practical work
in Laboratories, dissections, and daily oral examinations.
ANATOMY.
The Lectures in anatomy are thoroughly illustrated by all the mod-
ern aids to teaching.
During the first half of the term comparative and descriptive
anatomy will be fully considered, while the last part of the session
will he reserved tor a complete consideration of regional and surface
anatomy, accompanied by illustrations on the cadaver.
PHYSIOLOGY AND MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY.
In this department the inductive method is very largely employed
in imparting instruction. The lectures are profusely illustrated by
means of charts, diagrams, and blackboard figures; and the student-
is rendered practically familiar with the phenomena of the most im-
portant bodily functions in normal operation by the employment of
experiments upon living animals as a means of demonstration.
Laboratory work in histology will be largely employed in teaching,
the departments having been furnished with a number of tine mi-
croscopes for this purpose.
CHEMISTRY AND TOXICOLOGY.
In the course of lectures on chemistry special stress is laid upon
physiological chemistry: the study of the chemistry of the secretions,
excretions, and vital processes being regarded as most essential; the
study of the principles of general chemistry being made introductory
and subordinate to that phase of the subject which more immediate-
ly concerns the medical practitioner.
MATERIA MEDIC A AND THERAPEUTICS.
In addition to the essential study of characteristics, especial at-
tention will be paid to the pathogenetic and therapeutic relationship
of drugs, and to the clinical application of homoeopathic remedies.
As each remedy is brought up for study, its points of agreement and
disagreement with other remedies will be differentiated by compari-
son.
THEORY AND PRACTICE.
Only the principles of Homoeopathy, as set forth by Hahnemann,
will be taught. These, however, will be explained according to the
most recent developments in science.
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT
It is also the object of the teachings of this chair to prepare the
student to recognize and treat in accordance with the Homoeopal hie
method the various forms of disease as met with in general and every-
day practice.
The lectures will be illustrated by diagrams, waxand papier-Mache"
models, and pathological specimens from the museum of the college,
in order to enchance their usefulness; and no efforts will be spared
to prepare the student to become a successful practitioner.
SURGERY.
The chair of surgery will combine thorough practical, theoretical
pathological, aud clinical teaching. All candidate? for final examina-
nation are required to perform upon the cadaver such operations as
are made upon the living subject; likewise to assist at clinics and in
the hospital. Thorough attention will also he given during the entire
session to the practical adaptation of bandages, splints, and surgical
dressings.
OBSTETRICS.
All modern means for illustration are employed, and advanced stu-
dents are carefully trained in. the principal obstetrics operations.
This course also includes the Homoepathic therapeutics of obstetrical
diseases and abnormal ties.
GYNECOLOGY.
In this department the didactic lectures will be illustrated by
charts, diagrams, etc., and the most approved methods of diagnosis
and treatment will be demonstrated before the class.
OPHTHALMOLOGY AND OTOLOGY.
The didactic lectures upon the eye and ear will be largely supple-
mented by clinical teaching; each student will have an opportu-
nity of using the opthalmoscope and other modern instuments upon
the cases presented.
PRACTICAL ANATOMY.
The thorough study of this branch for at l<<<sl two courses, is made a
condition of graduation. The demonstrator will always be ready to
aid and direct the prosecution of these studies.
Upon the completion of each course of dissection, the student will
be examined on the anatomy of the part dissected. If the character
of the dissection and the examination be satisfactory, a certificate to
that effect will be given.
In order that 1 he opera! ions of t his department of the school may
be successfully carried on, all students are required to take out the
demonstrator's ticket prior to October 1st..
TATK UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.
MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE.
The essential^ bo the practitioner, of this important department
of medicine, will be very fully treated.
INSANITY.
This subject is discussed as concisely as possible, with the special
needs of the general practitioner constantly in view, and material
appearing a1 the clinics from time to time during the term utilized in
its illustration. These lectures will be delivered during the latter
pari of .January.
SANITARY SCIENCE AND PUBLIC HYGIENE.
There will be one lecture each week, during the fall term, on mat-
ters pertaining to Sanitary Science and Public Hygiene.
CLINICS.
The surgical clinic will beheld by Prof. Gilchrist, at the Homoeo-
pathic Hospital, each Saturday morning during the term. The
charges for board at the hospital are intended to be merely sufficient to
cover probable cost. Ward patients are charged $7.00 per week. Those
desiring a private room will be required to pay $10.00 a week. Per-
sonal laundry and unusual nursing extra. The hospital is open for
the reception of patients thoroughout the year.
Senior students are detailed alphabetically to assist at the Surgical
and Eye and Ear clinics, and assist the house surgeon in dressings,
etc. Each student, thefore, has at least three weeks practical hospital
work, and in administering anaesthetics.
The clinic is large, and covers a wide range of cases; private cases
being utilized whenever necessary for purposes of illustration— diag-
nostic, therapeutic, or operative. The average taken at the close of
the last clinical year shows five patients, and two(2and H) operations
on each clinic day. The proportion of major operations such as
ovariotomy, herniotomy, and others of like character, is much larger
than in the ordinary college clinic.
The medical clinic will be held by Prof. Dickinson, on Thursday of
each week. The records of 1 his clinic for the past year show a much'
larger number of patients treated than during any previous year.
The Eye. Ear and Throat clinics will be held on Wednesday of each
week by I )r. Newberry. These clinics for the past year have been full
and varied, each clinic for the term having averaged ,& cases. The
students have had an opportunity to personally examine nearly every-
thing in the line of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat troubles. A large
number of major operations have been performed. Senior students
are expected bo lake charge of and personally treat a certain number of
c;ises in this department each year.
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT
Letters of inquiry in connection with patients to appear for clinical
treatment should be addressed as follows:
Surgical and Gynecological Cases— Dr. J. (i. Gilchrist, Iowa City.

Homoeopathic Medical Department.
The seventeenth annual course of instruction will commence on
Wednesday, September 20, 1893, and close on Tuesday, March 13, 1894.
In issuing this announcement the Faculty desire first to extend
their thanks to the profession of the state, who have given them such
hearty and generous support, not only in sending students to the Uni-
versity, but for their maintenance of the clinics, contributions in
money for the enlargement of the Hospital, and many valuable dona-
tions of hospital furniture and apparatus. The fact that this College
is a Department of a great University, should, and doubtless does, act
as a potent factor in attracting students, and securing the support of
of the profession. The large laboratories, with their excellent equip-
ment furnish facilities for teaching that few, if any, private schools
can hope to duplicate.
The work in this Department has been thoroughly remodeled,
partly for the purpose of a more rigid observance of the requirements
of the various State Medical Boards, and the Inter-Collegiate Asso-
ciation, and partly to keep the Department in line with the march of
medical progress. The course of study must cover four years, one of
which must be pre-matriculate, under a preceptor, and three under-
graduate. As will be shown elsewhere, an additional or post- graduate
course is also provided. The classes are, for the most part, instructed
separately, the student being required to attain a certain standing
before passing into higher classes.
THE PLAN OF WORK
for the four years is given more particularly in the following pages,
together with the qualifications for admission into the several classes.
Men and women are admitted on equal terms, and no distinction
whatever is made between them. They attend in common all classes
and are called upon to do equal work in all particulars.
TUtE-MATRICULATE REQUIREMENTS.
Students should not be less than eighteen years of age. They
should select as a preceptor a reputable practitioner of medicine, a
graduate of an accredited school. They should read, under the guid-
ance and instruction of the preceptor, Elementary Chemistry, Physics,
and Biology, as well as Anatomy, Physiology, and Medical Institutes,
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.
particularly the Organon of Hahnemann. Beyond this they need not
go, unless graduates in letters or science, when they would find profit
in a careful reading of GrauvogVs Text Book of Homeopathy, and Zieg-
ler's Pathogenesis, and Pathological Anatomy.
FRESHMAN YEAR.
Students must apply for registration in person, at the office of the
Kegistrar of the Faculty, at No. 12, N. Clinton Street, Iowa City, a
day or two before the opening of the term. They must present a cer-
tificate from their preceptor, showing that they have read medicine
for one year, and stating specifically what the studies have been. The
certificate attached to this Announcement is to be used for this pur-
pose. Applicants for registration, who have degrees in Science or
Arts, who have passed the Sophomore year in a reputable college, or
have teacher's certificates, are admitted without preliminary exami-
nation. All others will be required to submit to an examination in
English scholarship by a committee of the Faculty. Should the ap-
plicant be a graduate from some collegiate institution recognized by
the University as having an adequate curiculum, and have passed in
Chemistry, Physics, Biology, or Physiology, he may become a pupil of
the Faculty, and the pre-matriculate requirements, as to preceptor,
will be waived.
The fees for this course will be paid to the Secretary of the Uni-
versity, and to him only, at the commencement of the term.
The fees for this year are as follows :
Matriculation $ 5.00
Lecture ticket 20.00
Hospital ticket 3.00
Demonstrator's ticket 10.00
Chemical Laboratory 5.00
* Breakage deposit 3.00
t Examination fee 5.00
The studies in this year are Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology,
Pharmacology and Institutes, Normal Histology, and Minor Surgery.
Attendance at clinics is desirable but not obligatory.
The books recommended for this year, are as follows: Anatomy,
Gray; Physiology, Dalton, Foster; Histology, Klein; Minor Surgery,
Gilchrist, Sargent or Martin's Essentials; Chemistry, Withaus, or
Eoscoe and Schoolemer, Andrews' Analytical; Wolfe or Tyson on
Urinalysis; Hahnemann's Organon.
* To be refunded at the close of the course, less charges for
breakage.
t Paid before the examination, at the close of the term.
HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The plan of work is as follows:
ANATOMY.
The lectures in Anatomy are thoroughly illustrated by all the
modern aids to teaching.
During the first half of the term comparative and descriptive
anatomy will be fully considered, while the last part of the session
will be reserved for a complete consideration of regional and surface
anatomy, accompanied by illustrations on the cadaver. Weekly quiz-
zes are held by a member of the Faculty of this Department, or
under his supervision, the markings assisting in fixing the standing
of the student.
PRACTICAL ANATOMY.
Satisfactory dissection of one part is made a condition of ad-
vancement to the Junior class. The dissecting room is large, commo-
dious, and facilities for profitable work are ample. The demonstra-
tor will always be ready to aid and direct the prosecution of these
studies.
Upon the completion of each course of dissection, the student will
be examined on the anatomy of the part dissected. If the character
of the dissection and the examination be satisfactory, a certificate to
that effect will be given.
PHYSIOLOGY.
In this subject the inductive method is very largely employed in
imparting instruction. The lectures are profusely illustrated by
means of charts, diagrams, and black-board figures; and the student
is rendered practically familiar with the phenomena of the most im-
portant bodily functions in normal operation by the employment of
experiments upon living animals as a means of demonstration.
Quizzes are held weekly by a member of the Faculty of this Depart-
ment, or under his supervision, and, as in the case of anatomy, the
markings assist in determining class-standing.
INSTITUTES AND PHARMACOLOGY.
The assistant to the chair of Materia Medica, will give one lec-
ture a week, in the first half of the year, on the Institutes of Homoeo-
pathy. In the last half Pharmacology will be taught in the same
manner, particular reference being made to the preparation of drugs,
as used in Homoeopathic practice, as well as to the manner of preser-
vation and dispensing. Every effort will be made to give the student
thorough instruction in these important topics.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.
MINOR SURGERY.
Our lecture, and demonstration, will be given each week, in all
topics following under this head, including bandaging, care of instru-
ments, surgical dressings, and minor operations.
HISTOLOGY.
One lecture a week will be given, many of them being illustrated
by means of the stereopticon. Two hours each week are devoted to
laboratory work, in the new histological laboratory, which is commo-
dious, well-lighted, and supplied with thirty-six new compound
microscopes, with all necessary accessories, dissecting microscopes,
microtomes of various kinds, injecting apparatus, turn-tables, etc.
Each student is furnished a microscope, reagents and apparatus;
is taught the use of the microscope, and does, or has demonstrated
before him, the general technique of the subject of histology, harden-
ing, embedding, sectioning, staining, mounting, etc.
Histological injections are made before the class. During the
term the student prepares for himself a series of slides, illustrating
the ultimate distribution of the blood and cellular structure of nor-
mal tissues and organs.
CHEMISTRY.
The course in chemistry consists of lectures and laboratory work*
The lectures treat first of the general principles of the science; then
the subjects of interest to the students of medicine are discussed.
Especial attention is paid to the compounds found in the body, with
their functions and chemical changes. Medicinal and poisonous sub-
stances, and such as are used in practical work are also considered.
In the laboratory the student begins with tests for the metals,
particularly the poisonous ones, and passes to the analysis of complex
substances. He learns methods of manipulation, and becomes ac-
quainted with the properties and actions of reagents. In the latter
part of the course, urine is studied; quantitative and qualitative tests
are made for its pathological constituents, and such normal ones as are
of importance to the physician. The microscopical and chemical exam-
ination of urinary sediments, and calculi follows. The course is con-
cluded by the examination of various specimens of urine, the student
being required to test these, reporting as to whether they are normal
or pathological, and giving the kinds and amounts of abnormal con-
stituents found.
The work in Practical Chemistry has been transferred from the
Medical Building to the new Chemical laboratories of the University.
In the new laboratory building, the Medical Department occupies
rooms on the ground floor. These consist of professors' rooms, store
rooms, and two large laboratories. They are well lighted, and are
HOMCEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
heated by steam. Hoods, connected with ventilating shafts, carry-
off offensive and injurious gases. The outfit is ample for demon-
strating the general principles of chemistry, as well as its application
to medicine.
This programme gives 24 hours a week for class work, exclusive of
Practical Anatomy, which would add 12 hours for a portion of the
time. Of this four hours are devoted to laboratory work, two to rec-
itations, three to five to clinical, and the remainder to lectures.
At the close of the year final examinations are held in Chemistry,
Histology, and Minor Surgery, which if successfully passed will carry
the student to the Junior class. In the event of failure to pass any
one of these examinations the student may enter the higher class, con-
ditioned upon completing his standing at or before the close of the
Junior year. A failure in two (or more) studies will stop further ad-
vancement until the conditions are satisfied.
Students are advised to attend all the lectures on Materia Medica
if time will permit, but will not be expected to study or recite.
JUNIOR YEAR.
Admission to the second, or Junior class, is regularly secured by
passing from the Freshman class, the evidence being the ticket of the
Dean, and the record of the student, but students who have taken the
first year's work in other colleges, provided the curriculum is fully up
to the standard of the various State Medical Boards, and the Inter-
Collegiate Association, will be admitted to the Junior class upon pre-
sentation of satisfactory evidence.
The fees for this year are as follows, and must be paid to the Sec-
retary of the University, and to him only, at the commencement of
the term :
Lecture fee $20.00
Anatomy ticket 10.00
Hospital ticket 3.00
* Examination fee 10.00
Students from other colleges will be required to pay a matricula-
tion fee of five dollars, and examination fee of fifteen dollars.
The studies taken this year will be : Anatomy, Physiology, Ma-
teria Medica, Pathology and Obstetrics; also attendance at all clinics.
The books recommended are as follows : Anatomy and Physiology,
as in the Freshman year. Practice, Dickinson, Arndt System of Medi-
cine, Raue, Special Pathology. Surgery, Gilchrist's Syllabus, Hamil-
ton, Fractures and Dislocations. Obstetrics, Guernsey (for therapeu-
tics), (Jroserio, Lusk. Materia Medica, Allen, Primer; Farrington;
Clinical Materia Medica, Cowpcrthwaite. Pwdology, Duncan, Smith.
Pathology, Greene, Ziegler.

STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.
The plan of work is as follows: Anatomy and Physiology the
same as In the Freshman year, % flnal examination, however, will be
held at the close of the year, by a member of the Faculty of this De-
partment. Practical Anatomy is also completed, the examination to
be conducted by the Demonstrator of Anatomy.
MATERIA MEDICA.
There will be four lectures a week, on this fundamental branch,
with occasional recitations and special quizzes. The remedies are
divided into two groups, one of which will be discussed one year, the
other the next A brief review of the toxicological and physiological
effect of the drug will first be given, then the characteristics and most
prominent symptoms. Especial attention will be given to the group-
ing of these symptoms, for therapeutic purposes, and comparing them
with a similar group of other drugs which may be useful for the same
disease.
THEORY AND PRACTICE.
General and special Pathology will be taught, according to the
latest investigations into the aetiology and nature of disease. It will
be the aim of the occupant of this chair, to only teach that which has
secured the sanction of competent observers, and which has been con-
firmed by abundant clinical experience. In teaching the relation of
drug pathogenesis to semeiology, the well-established principles of
Homoeopathic Therapeutics will be closely and consistently followed.
The teaching is both didactic and clinical; three lectures and one
clinic being given each week. The lecture room being under the same'
roof with the hospital, furnishes admirable opportunities for bed-side
instruction. The lectures will be illustrated by diagrams, wax and
Papier-mache models, and pathological specimens from the museum of
the College, in order to enhance their usefulness. No efforts will be
spared to prepare the student to become a successful practitioner.
OBSTETRICS.
The plan of instruction in this branch, will be the usual didactic
method, supplemented by demonstrations with wet and dry prepara-
tions, models and diagrams; together with clinical practice whenever
possible. Two lectures a week are given, with occasional quizzes and
recitations. The scheme is designed to carry the student forward,
after thorough instruction in the anatomy of the pelvis and genera-
tive apparatus, through ovulation, menstruation, gestation, and nor-
mal labor, with the various abnormalities or the lying-in period. The
use of obstetric instruments is taught on the manikin, and every care
taken to thoroughly prepare the students for dealing with complica-
tions. Dystochia, and all forms of abnormal gestation and labor are
given in the closing portion of the course. The central idea is to give
the practical preference over the merely theoretical.
IO HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
PAEDOLOGY.
One lecture a week is given on the diseases of children, supple-
menting the course on Theory and Practice. The subjects taken up
are consequently.the diseases of infancy, as well as early childhood,
and while largely treated by the didactic method, clinical demonstra-
tions are used whenever possible.
SURGICAL EMERGENCIES.
The work of this year in Surgery, will consist of two lectures a
week throughout the year, with frequent quizzes and recitations,
taking up the subjects included in what is called "Acute Surgery.'
As this is a branch of practice that all practitioners should be prepared
to exercise, no pains will be spared to impart instruction. Anesthesia
wounds, hemorrhage, shock, fractures and dislocations will be among
the topics discussed. Illustrations on the cadaver, as well as the living
subject will form an essential feature in this course.
PATHOLOICAL HISTOLOGY.
Two hours a week are devoted to the practical study of morbic
anatomy. The work consists of laboratory lectures and exercises, tht
aim being to make this study as practicable as possible, and to famil
iarize the student with the use of the microscope in diagnosis. Part
of the time in the laboratory is devoted to the study of prepared speci-
mens, under the guidance of the instructor, and the remainder to ttu
mounting of pathological specimens by the student himself. Ar
abundance of material is furnished by the laboratory, and each student
is allowed to keep as his own property all the sections prepared by him
during the term. Special attention is paid to the diagnosis of tumors,
trichinas, etc., microscopically, and the student learns easy and rapid
methods of making preparations for such diagnosis.
The number of hours occupied each week is twenty-six. From
throe to Ave is given to clinical work, the remainder to lectures. Dur-
ing a portion of the time, ranging from three to four weeks, 12 hour;
additional is given to Practical Anatomy.
At the close of the year examinations will be held in Anatomy,
Physiology, Surgical Emergencies and Pathology which if successful,
passes the student to the Senior year. A failure in any one of thes<
subjects, imposes a condition on the student, which must be satisfiec
before the close of the Senior year. A failure in two or more studies
stops ndvancemcnt, the student being required to complete this year";
work the following year, when, if he fails again, he will be dropped.
SENIOR YEAR.
Admission to the Senior year, is gained by passing the requirec
examinations in the Junior year, which fact is certified by the tickel
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. II
of the Dean. Students coming from other colleges, recognized by the
State Hoards ami [nter-Collegiate Association, who have proper cre-
dentials, showing that they have passed the required curriculum^ and
passed successfully the necessary examinations, may be admitted to
this class, in the discretion of the Faculty.
The fees are to be paid at the commencement of the term to the
Secretary of the University, and to him only. They are as follows:
Lecture fees $20.00.
Hospital ticket, 3.00.
* Examination fee 10.00.
Students from other colleges will be required to pay a matricula-
tion fee. of five dollars, in addition to the above.
The studies taken in this year will be: Materia Medica, Theory
and Practice, Surgery, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Ophthamology, Toxi-
cology. Medical Jurisprudence, and attendance on all clinics.
The books recommended are: Surgery, American System, Moulin,
Bryant, Hamilton, Helmuth. Gynecology, Southwick, Lucllam,
Thomas, or Skene. Ophthalmology, etc., Norton, Angell, or Buffum,
•on the Eye, Winslow, Houghton, on the Ear, Bosworth or Robinson, on
Nose and Throat. Toxicology, Reese, or Wormley. Medical Jurispru-
dence, Wharton and Stille, Beck, Elwell. Practice, for references in
addition to the text-books recommended in the Junior year, Pepper,
Osier, or Stevens' Manual of Practical Medicine.
The list of books recommended for the various years is carefully
selected, and represents a good working library for the practitioner.
While it is not necessary that the student procure more than one on
any subject, it will be found a material advantage to the graduate if
he possesses all of them.
The plan of work for this year is as follows : Materia Medica and
Practice will be taught as already given in the Junior year. The same
applies to Obstetrics.
OPHTHALMOLOGY AND OTOLOGY.
Instruction in diseases of the eye and ear will be both didactic
and clinical. Special stress is laid upon the diagnosis and treatment
of those diseases which will most often present themselves in the work
of the general practitioner. The didactic teaching is illustrated by
models a nd drawings. The clinics are large and varied, opportunity
being thus given to examine and treat the cases presented, thus giving
familiarity with every form of disease in this branch of medicine.
Each student is expected to become accustomed to the use of the oph-
thalmoscope, and other instruments used in the diagnosis and treat-
ment of cases.
*To be paid at the close of the term, prior to examination. Stu-
dents taking two years in another college must pay $25.00.
12 HOMCEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
In connection with this chair, instruction is given in Rhinology
and Laryngology by weekly lectures and clinics. Students are
signed cases for treatment, and given ample opportunity to become
expert in the use of the laryngoscope, rhinoscope, and other instru-
ments employed in the diagnosis and treatment of the various dis-
eases.
TOXICOLOGY.
Instruction in this branch is given by means of weekly lectures,
supplemented by quizzes. The general principles are first considered,
then the most important of the poisons are treated separately. Their
actions are described, and the methods are shown for detecting them
by chemical tests in the excreta, foods and other substances. Espec-
ial attention is given to the subject of antidotes.
SURGERY.
The work in Surgery will consist of four lectures a week, with
frequent quizzes and recitations, in addition to the clinical, sub-clin-
ical and hospital work to be described elsewhere. The subjects taken
up will be largely in the domain of major<surgery, and surgical pathol-
ogy, the principles of the science being carefully discussed, the applica-
tion of them demonstrated on the cadaver, in the clinics, sub-clinics,
and daily hospital work. The student will be required to perform
operations on the cadaver, particularly the ligature of arteries in
their continuity, amputations, trephining, and tracheotomy. For
further information see "clinics."
GYNECOLOGY.
Instruction in this branch is taught by the professors of Obstet-
rics and Surgery. The system of instruction is partly by lectures,
illustrated by wet and dry specimens, models, and diagrams— and
partly in the sub-clinics, where methods of examination, and the use
of gynecological instruments is practically taught. The amount of
clinical material being large and constantly increasing, as well as of
great variety, instruction in this most important branch is eminently
practical in character.
MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE.
Instruction in Medical Jurisprudence is given by the Faculty of
the Law Department, the time to be announced during the term.
INSANITY.
Lectures on Alienism and kindred topics are given towards the*
close of the term, the dates announced during the year.
The number of hours occupied in this year are twenty-three "each
week; five to seven hours are devoted to clinical work, two to labora-
tory; the remainder to lectures and recitations.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. 13
Classes in Materia Medica, Practice, Minor Surgery, Pharmacol-
ogy. Obstetrics, Surgical Emergencies, Surgery, Gynecology, Eye and
Ear, and PaBdology are in the lecture room of the Homoeopathic Hos-
pital, in which room also, all the clinics are held. Anatomy, Physi-
ology, and Insanity are taught in the amphitheatre of the Medical
Department. Pathology, Histology, Chemistry, and Toxicology are
taught in the appropriate laboratories. Medical Jurisprudence is
Taught in the lecture room of the Law Department.
CLINICS.
The clinics of this Department are open to students of all the
classes, but attendance is not obligatory in the Freshman year. All
the clinics are full, having doubled in size during the past year; in
some of them the capacity of the Hospital has been severely taxed,
notwithstanding a considerable increase in accommodations through
the generous aid of the Hahnemann Association of Iowa. The general
arrangement and clinical system are as follows: The House Surgeon
at the commencement of the term details three students from the
Senior class as clinical assistants One of these retires after one
weeks service, one after two weeks, and the remaining one after three
weeks. One student a week is detailed thereafter so that each Senior
student has three consecutive weeks of clinical work. The duties
-are to assist at all clinics, taking the different duties in rotation, and
attend to all dressings in the Hospital, under the supervision of the
House Surgeon. This gives unusual facilities for practical instruction.
The clinics are largely patronized, the number of cases and the variety
being fully equal to the college clinics in the larger cities. During
the past year the operative cases in the Surgical and Eye and Ear
Departments gave an average of four for each clinic, quite as many as
can be utilized. The clinics are held as follows :
Mi diced Clinic— Thursday afternoon, service of Professor Dickin-
son.
Surgical Clinic— Friday afternoon, service of Professor Gilchrist.
Eye and Ear Clinic— Tuesday afternoon, service of Professor New-
berry.
Gynecological Clinic— -By appointment in the sub-clinics, service of
Professor Gilchrist.
Obstetric Clinic— By appointment, service of Professor Cogswell.
The sub-clinics are held two or more times a week, to which sec-
tions of the Senior class are admitted, where opportunity is afforded
all to make examinations in gynecological cases, and use the various
instruments of precision for purposes of diagnosis.
Medical and Surgical treatment, and nursing are free for patients

entering the general clinics. Board in the Hospital is furnished for
$7.00 a week.
Correspondence with reference to admission to the clinics or Hos-
pital should be had with the professor having charge of the particular
clinic, or the Registrar of the Faculty. Arrangements can be made
for the reception of a limited number of obstetrical cases, only between
the 15th of September and the 15th of February.
In connection with the clinics a dispensary has recently been
opened, where the clinical assistants, under the direction of the Fac-
ulty, prescribe for and visit out-patients, as well as attend such cases
of obstetrics as apply. The dispensary is growing in patronage and
influence, so that it will soon become a highly important and profita-
ble portion of the work, acting at once as a "feeder" for the clinics,
and giving practical instruction to the attendants.
SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
A training school for nurses has been authorized by the Board of
Regents, and a two years' course of practical and theoretic instruction
is provided. Pupil nurses are paid at the rate of $1.50 a week, and
furnished board, lodging and laundry. They are directly under the
instruction of the Matron and House Surgeon. The instruction given
is most thorough and practical, a certificate signed by the President
of the University and the Hospital Board being given at the close of
the second year. Applications for admission as a pupil nurse, are to
be made to the Matron, Miss Adele P. Kimball, Homoeopathic Hos-
pital, Iowa City, Iowa.
HOUSE SURGEON.
In January of each year applications will be received from the
Senior class, for the position of House Surgeon. The appointment
will be by competitive examination, conducted in such manner as the
Faculty may prescribe, the subjects for examination being previously
communicated to the class. Compensation is $100 for the school
year, with board and lodging. The duties of the office commence
and close with the college year.
THE HAHNEMANIAN SOCIETY.
This society was established several years ago, and it has been a
potent factor in promoting the scholarship of our classes, and inbring-
its members into pleasant social relations.
It holds its sessions in the Department building and aims to have
two programs a month. All new students will find it to their inter-
est to become active members.
A diploma is awarded by this society to its members who grad-
uate from this Department.

POST GRADUATE COURSE.
The Faculty of bhe Department take pleasure in announcing that
arrangements have been completed for the establishment of a Prac-
titioner's Course in which the work will be clinical and in the labora-
tories of the University. •
The course will open one week after Commencement, and continue
four weeks, Ave days in each week. From three to six studies a day
are provided, the student having the privilege of taking all or any
Dumber. The branches offered and teachers engaged, are as follows :
Surgery and Surgical Gynecology— James G-. Gilchrist, A. M., M. D.
Ophthamology , Otology, Laryngology, and Rhinology — Frank J.
Newberry, M. D., O. et. A. Chir.
Normal Histology and Embryology— Frank S. Aby, M. S.
Pathological Histology— W alter L. Bierring, M. D.
Chemistry and Urine A nalysis— Elbert W. Rockwood, A. M.
The Clinical work includes daily classes, in which instruments and
appliances for diagnosis, and the most approved methods of treatment
will be illustrated, the material being abundant and of great variety.
The Laboratory work will be of the most practical character. In
Histology, Normal and Pathological, each student will be supplied
with a microscope and o all necessary accesories. He will inject, har-
den, stain, section, and mount specimens of all the tissues and the
various pathological structures. The specimens so prepared will
remain the property of the student. A small charge for material used
at actual cost price is made.
The work in the Chemical Laboratory will be in the study of the
excretions, more particularly the urine, as they occur in health and
disease. The cost of material will be charged, the amount quite in-
significant, as well as any breakage of apparatus due to carelessness.
Conditions for Admission are the possession of a diploma from
some accredited Medical College, a certificate from the State Board of
Medical Examiners, or two years' medical study.
Fees, for the whole course, $25.00.
Those who are not alumni or undergraduates of the University
will pay an additional fee of $5.00. Breakage of material in the lab-
ories will be charged for at actual cost.
All fees must be paid to the Secretary of the University, Mr. Wm.
J. Haddock, at the commencement of the course.
Those desiring to take this course will please notify the Depart-
ment as early as possible. For additional information address the
Dean or Registrar of the Faculty at Iowa City.

HOMEOPATHS MED1GAL DEPARTMENT.
The eighteenth annual course of instruction will commence on
Wedesday, September 19, 1894, and close on Tuesday, March 12,
1895.
In issuing this announcement the Faculty desire first to extend
their thanks to the profession of the state, who have given them
such hearty and generous support, not only in sending students to
the University, but for their maintenance of the clinics, contribu-
tions in money for the enlargement of the Hospital, and many val-
uable donations of hospital furniture and apparatus. The fact that
this College is a Department of a great University, should, and
doubtless does, act as a potent factor in attracting students, and
securing the support of the profession. The large laboratories,
with their excellent equipment, furnish facilities for teaching that
few, if any, private schools can hope to duplicate.
Through the labors of the friends of this Department an appro-
priation of $15,000 has been secured from the Legislature, for
building purposes, which will enable the Department to do better
work in the future, and to compare more favorably with other
Departments in the University. It is hoped that the new building
will be ready at the commencement of the Fall term.
The work in this Department has been thoroughly remodeled,
partly for the purpose of a more rigid observance of the require-
ments of the various State Medical Boards, and the Inter-Collegiate
Association, and partly to keep the Department in line with the
march of medical progress. The course of study must cover four
years, one of which must be pre-matriculate, under a preceptor,
and three undergraduate. The classes are, for the most part, in-
structed separately, the student being required to attain a certain
standing before passing into higher classes.
THE PLAN OF WORK
for the four years is given more particularly in the following
pages, together with the qualifications for admission into the sev-
eral classes. Men and women are admitted on equal terms, and no
distinction whatever is made between them. They attend all clas-
ses in common and are called upon to do equal work in all particu-
lars .
Staph University of Iowa.
PRE-MATRICULATB REQUIREMENTS.
Students should not be less than eighteen years of age. They
should select as a preceptor a reputable practitioner of medicine, a
graduate o\' an accredited school. They should read, under the
guidance and instruction of the preceptor, Elementary Chemistry,
Physics, and Biology, as well as Anatomy, Physiology, and Medi-
cal Institutes, particularly the Oi-c/aiion of Hahnemann. Ee}"ond
this they need not go. unless graduates in letters or science, when
they would find profit in a careful reading of GrawoogVs Text Book
>>/ Homeopathy ^ and Ziegler's Pathogenesis, and Pathological Anat-
omy.
FRESHMAN YEAR.
Students must apply for registration in person, at the office of
the Registrar of the Faculty, in the College building, a day or two
before the opening of the term. They must present a certificate
from their preceptor, showing that they have read medicine for
one year, and stating specifically what the studies have been. The
certificate attached to this Announcement is to be used for this
purpose. Applicants for registration, who have degrees in Science
or Art. who have passed the Sophomore year in a reputable college,
or have first class teacher's certificates, are admitted without pre-
liminary examination. All others will be required to submit to an
examination in English scholarship by a committte of the Faculty,
as is shown more particularly in the Schedule of Requirements, or-
dered by the State Board of Medical Examiners, printed on another
page. Should the applicant be a graduate from some collegiate
institution recognized by the University as having an adequate
curiculum, and have passed in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, or
Physiology, he may become a pupil of the Faculty, and the pre-
matriculate requirements, as to preceptor, will be waived.
The fees for this course will be paid to the Secretary of the Uni-
versity, and to him only, at the commencement of the term, for
which he will issue a single ticket.
The fees for this year are as follows:
Histological laboratory $ 5.00
Matriculation 5.00
Lecture ticket 20.00
Hospital ticket 3.00
Demonstrator's ticket 10.00
Chemical Laboratoiy 5. 00
Breakage deposit 3.00
fExaminatioD fee 5.00
$56.00
•To be refunded at the close of the course, less charges for breakage.
fPaid befoie the examination, at the close of the term.
Homeopathic Medical Department.
The studies in this year are Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology,
Pharmacology and Institutes, Normal Histology, and Minor Sur-
gery. Attendance at clinics is desirable but not obligatory.
The books recommended for this year, are as follows: Anatomy ,
Gray; Physiology, Dalton, Foster; Histology, Klein; Minor Sur-
gery, Gilchrist, Sargent or Martin's Essentials; Chemistry. Withaus,
or Roscoe and Schorlemmer, Andrews' Analytical; Wolfe or Tyson
on Urinalysis; Hahnemann's Organon.
The plan of work is as follows:
ANATOMY.
The lectures in Anatomy are thoroughly illustrated by all the
modern aids to teaching.
During the first half of the term comparative and descriptive
anatomy will be fully considered, while the last part of the session
will be reserved for a complete consideration of regional and surface
anatomy, accompanied by illustrations on the cadaver. Weekly
quizzes are held by a member of the Faculty of this Department, or
under his supervision, the markings assisting in fixing the standing
of the student.
PRACTICAL ANATOMY.
Satisfactory dissection of one part is made a condition of advance-
ment to the Junior class. The dissecting room is large, commo-
dious, and facilities for profitable work are ample. The Demonstra-
tor will always be ready to aid and direct the prosecution of these
studies.
Upon the completion of each course of dissection, the student will
be examined on the anatomy- of the part dissected. If the char-
acter of the dissection and the examination be satisf actoiy, a certi-
ficate to that effect will be given.
PHYSIOLOGY.
In this subject the inductive method is very largely employed in
imparting instruction. The lectures are profusely illustrated by
means of charts, diagrams, and black-board figures; and the student
is rendered practically familiar with the phenomena of the most
important bodily functions in normal operation by the empk^ment
of experiments upon living animals as a means of demonstration.
Quizzes are held weekly by a member of the Faculty of this
Department, or under his supervision, and, as in the case of anat-
omy, the markings assist in determining class-standing.
State University of Iowa.
INSTITUTES AND PHARMACOLOGY.
The Assistant to the chair of Materia Medica, will give one lec-
ture a week, in the first half of the } r ear, on the Institutes of Homoe-
opathy. In thr last halt* Pharmacology will be taught in the same
manner, particular reference being made to the preparation of drugs
as used in Homoeopathic practice, as well as to the manner of preser-
vation and dispensing. Every effort will be made to give the stu-
dents thorough instruction in these important topics.
MINOR SURGERY.
One lecture, and demonstration, will be given each week, on all
topics falling under this head, including bandaging, care of instru-
ments, surgical dressings, and minor operations.
HISTOLOGY
One lecture a week will be given, many of them being illustrated
by means of the stereopticon. Two hours each week are devoted to
laboratory work, in the new histological laboratory, which is com-
modious, well-lighted, and supplied with thirty-six new compound
microscopes, with all necessary accessories, dissecting microscopes,
microtomes of various kinds, injecting apparatus, turn-tables, etc.
Each student is furnished a microscope, reagents and apparatus,
is taught the use of the microscope, and does, or has demonstrated
before him, the general technique of the subject of histology, hard-
ening, embedding, sectioning, staining, mounting, etc.
Histological injections are made before the class. During the
term the student prepares for himself a series of slides, illustrating
the ultimate distribution of the blood, and cellular structure of nor-
mal tissues and organs.
CHEMISTRY.
The course in chemistry consists of lectures and laboratory work.
The lectures treat first of the general principles of the science; then
the subjects of interest to the student of medicine are discussed.
Especial attention is paid to the compounds found in the body,
with their functions and chemical changes. Medicinal and poison-
substances, and such as are U3ed in practical work are also con-
Bidered.
In the laboratory the student begins with tests for the metals,
particularly the poisonous ones, and passes to the analysis of com-
plex substances, lie learns methods of manipulation, and becomes
acquainted with the properties and actions of reagents. In the latter
part of the course, urine is studied; quantitative and qualitative tests
are made for its pathological constituents, and such normal ones as
are of importance to the physician. The microscopical and chemical
HOMCEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
examination of urinary sediments, and calculi follows. The course
is concluded by the examination of various specimens of urine, the
student being required to test these, reporting as to whether they are
normal or pathological, and giving the kinds and amounts of ab-
normal constituents found.
The work in practical chemistry has been transferred from the
Medical Building to the new Chemical laboratories of the University.
In the new laboratory building, the Medical Department occupies
rooms on the ground floor. These consist of Professors' rooms, store
rooms, and two large laboratories. They are well lighted, and are
heated by steam. Hoods, connected with ventilating shafts, carry
off offensive and injurious gases. The outfit is ample for demon-
strating the general principles of chemistiy. as well as its application
to medicine.
This programme gives 24 hours a week for class work, exclusive
of clinics and Practical Anatomy, which would add 12 hours for a
portion of the time. Of this, four hours are devoted to laboratory
work, three to five to clinical, two to recitations, and the remainder
to lectures.
At the close of the year final examinations are held in Chemistry,
Histology, Minor Surgery and Osteology, which if successfully
passed will carry the student to the Junior class. In the event of
failure to pass any one of these examinations the student may enter
the higher class, conditioned upon completing his standing at or be-
fore the close of the Junior year. A failure in two (or more) studies
will stop further advancement until the conditions are satisfied.
Students are advised to attend all the lectures on Materia Medica
if time will permit, but will not be expected to recite.
JUNIOR YEAR
Admission to the second, or Junior class, is regularly secured by-
passing from the Freshman class, the evidence being the ticket of the
Dean, and the record of the student, but students who have taken
the first year's work in other colleges, provided the curriculum is fulry
up to the standard of the various State Medical Boards, and the In-
ter-Collegiate Association, will be admitted to the Junior class upon
presentation of satisfactory evidence.
The fees for this year are as follows, and must be paid to the Sec-
retary of the University, and to him only, at the commencement of
the term, for which he will issue a single ticket:
Physiological Chemistry $ 5.00
Lecture fee ' 20. 0^ ,
State University of Iowa.
Anatomy ticket 10.00
Hospital ticket 3.00
Examination fee '. 10.00
$48.00
Students from other colleges will be required to pay a matricula-
tion fee of five dollars, and examination fee of fifteen dollars.
The studies taken this year will be: Anatomy, Physiology, Ma-
teria Medica, Surgical Emergencies, and Obstetrics ; also attendance
at all clinics.
The books recommended are as follows. Anatomy and Physiology,
as in the Freshman }-ear. Practice, Dickinson, Arndt System of
Medicine; Raue, Special Pathology. Surgery, Gilchrist's Syllabus;
Hamilton, Fractures and Dislocations. Ohstetrics. Guernsey (for Ther-
apeutics). Croserio, Lusk. Materia Medica, Allen, Primer; Far-
rington, Clinical Materia Medica; Cowperthwaite. Pcedology, Dun-
can. Smith. Physiological Chemistry, Pellow.
The plan of work is as follows: Anatomy and Physiology the
same as in the Freshman Year, final examination, however, will be
held at the close of the year, by a member of the Faculty of this De-
partment. Practical Anatomy is also completed, the examination to
be conducted by the Demonstrator of Anatomy.
MATERIA MEDICA.
There will be four lectures a week, on this fundamental branch,
with occasional recitations and special quizzes. The remedies are
divided into two groups, one of which will be discussed one year,
the other the next. A brief review of the toxicological and physi-
ological effect of the drug will first be given, then the characteristics
and most prominent s}-mptoms. Especial attention will be given to
the grouping of these symptoms, for therapeutic purposes, and com-
paring them with a similar group of other drugs which may be useful
for the same disease.
THEORY AND PRACTICE.
General and special Pathology will be taught, according to the
latest investigations into the aetiology and nature of the disease. It
will be the aim of the occupant of this chair, to only teach that
which has secured the sanction of competent observers, and which
has been confirmed by abundant clinical experience. In teaching
the relation of drug pathogensis to semeiology, the well-established
principles of Homcepathic Therapeutics will be closely and consist-
ently followed.
*To be paid at the c'oie of the term, prior to examination.
10 Homeopathic Medical Department.
'±he teaching is both didactic and clinical; three lecture3 and one
clinic being given each week. The lecture room being under the
same roof with the hospital, furnishes admirable opportunities for
bed-side instruction. The lectures will be illustrated by diagrams.
wax and papier-mache models, and pathological specimens from the
the museum of the College in order to enhance their usefulness.
No efforts will be spared to prepare the student to become a success-
ful practitioner.
OBSTETRICS.
The plan of instruction in this branch, will be the usual didactic
method supplemented by demonstrations with wet and dry prepara-
cions, models and diagrams; together with clinical practice whenever
possible. Two lectures a week are given, with occasional quizzes
and recitations. The scheme is designed to carry the student for-
ward, after thorough instruction in the anatomy of the pelvis and
generative apparatus, through ovulation, menstruation, gestation,
and normal labor, with the various abnormalities of the lying-in
period. The use of obstetric instruments is taught on the manikin,
and every care taken to thoroughly prepare the students for dealing
with complications. Dystochia, and all forms of abnormal gestation
and labor are given in the closing portion of the course. The cen-
tral idea is to give the practical preference over the merely theoret-
ical.
PEDOLOGY.
One lecture a week is given on the diseases of children, supple-
menting the course on Theory and Practice. The subjects taken
up are consequently the diseases of infancy, as well as earry child-
hood, and while largely treated by the didactic method, clinical
demonstrations are used whenever possible.
SURGICAL EMERGENCIES.
The work of this year in Surgery, will consist of two lectures a
week throughout the year> with frequent quizzes and recitations,
taking up the subjects included in what is called "Acute Surgery."
As this is a branch of practice that all practitioners should be pre-
pared to exercise, no pains will be spared to impart instruction.
Anesthesia, wounds, hemorrhage, shock, fractures and dislocations
will be among the topics discussed. Illustrations on the cadaver,
as well as the living subject, will form an essential feature in this
course.
PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY
The lectures are in explanation and amplification of the laboratory
work. The latter includes the study of the proximate principles of
State University of Iowa. 11
the body, and of their chemical changes. Artificial digestive experi-
ments are made, their products being isolated and tested. The con-
stituents of the blood are tested, together with the methods for identi-
fication of stains. The qualitative tests for the abnormal constitu-
ents o( the urine follow, and the quantitative determination of such
as are of importance. The course is completed by the identification
of urinary sediments and calculi: and the analysis of various patho-
logical specimens iA' urine.
The number of hours occupied each week is twenty-six. From
three to live is given to clinical work, the remainder to lectures and
laboratory work. During a portion of the time, ranging from three
to four weeks. 12 hours additional is given to Practical Anatomy.
At the close of the year examinations will be held in Anatomy,
Physiology and Surgical Emergencies which if successful, passes
the student to the Senior } r ear. A failure in any one of
these subjects, imposes a condition on the student, which must be
satisfied before the close of the Senior year. A failure in two or
more studies stops advancement, the student being required to com-
plete this year's work the following year, when, if he fails again, he
will be dropped.
SENIOR YEAR,
Admission to the Senior year, is gained by passing the required
examinations in the Junior year, which fact is certified b}< the ticket
of the Dean. Students coming from other colleges, recognized by
ate Boards and Inter-Collegiate Association, who have proper
-credentials, showing that they have pursued the required curriculum,
and passed successfully the necessaiy examinations, may be ad-
mitted to this class, in the discretion of the Faculty.
The fees are to be paid at the commencement of the term to the
tary of the University, and to him only, for which he will
a single ticket.
Pathological laboratory $ 5.00
Lecture fees . 20.00
Hospital ticket 3.00
'Examination fee 10.00
$38.00
Students from other colleges will be required to pa} T a matricula-
tion fee of five dollars, and an examination fee of twenty-five dol-
:n addition to the above.
*To be paid at the close of die term, prior to examination. Students tak-
ing two years in another college musl pay >-i5.oo.
12 Homoeopathic Medical Department.
The studies taken in this year will be: Materia Medica. Theory
and Practice, Surgery, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Ophthalmology.
Pathology, Toxicology, Medical Jurisprudence, and attendance on
all clinics.
The books required are: Surgery, Moulin, Bryant, or Hamilton.
Helmuth. Gynecology, Southwick, Wood, Thomas, or .Skene.
Ophthalmology, etc., Norton, Angell, or Buffum, on the Eye,; Wins-
low, Houghton, on the Ear; Bosworth or Robinson, on Xose and
Throat. Toxicology, Reese, or Wormley. Pathology. Green. Zieg-
ler. Medical Jurisprudence. Wharton and Stille, Beck, Elwell.
Practice, for references in addition to the text-books recommended
in the Junior year, Pepper, Osier, or Stevens' Manual of Practical
Medicine.
The list of books recommended for the various years is carefully
selected, and represents a good working library for the practitioner.
While it is not necessary that the student procure more than one on
any subject, it will be found a material advantage to the graduate if
he possesses all of them.
The plan of work for this year is as follows: Materia Medica and
Practice will be taught as already given in the Junior year- The
same applies to Obstetrics.
OPHTHALMOLOGY AND OTOLOGY.
Instruction in diseases of the eye and ear will be both didactic
and clinical. Special stress is laid upon the diagnosis and treat-
ment of those diseases which will most often present themselves in
the work of the general practitioner. The didactic teaching is illus-
trated by models and drawings. The clinics are large and varied,
opportunity being thus given to examine and treat the cases pre-
sented, thus giving familiarity with every form of disease in this
branch of medicine. Each student is expected to become accus-
tomed to the use of the ophthalmoscope, and other instruments
used in the diagnosis and treatment of cases.
LARYNGOLOGY AND RHINOLOGY.
Instruction is given in Rhinology and Laryngology by weekly lec-
tures and clinics. Students are assigned cases for treatment, and
given ample opportunity to become expert in the use of the laryn-
goscope, rhinoscope, and other instruments employed in the diag-
nis and treatment of the various diseases.
TOXICOLOGY.
Instruction in this branch is given by means of weekly lectures,
supplemented by quizzes. The general principles are first consid-
ered, then the most important of the poisons are treated separately.
State University of Iowa. 13
Their actions are described, and the methods are shown for detect-
ing them by chemical testa in the excreta, foods and other substan-
ces. Especial attention is given to the subject of antidotes.
SURGERY.
The work in Surgery will consist of four lectures a week, with
frequent quizzes and recitations, in addition to the clinical, sub-
clinical and hospital work to be described elsewhere. The subjects
taken up will be largely in the domain of major surgery, and surgi-
cal pathology, the principles of the science being carefully discussed,
the application of them demonstrated on the cadaver, in the clinics,
sub-clinics, and daily hospital work. The student will be required-
to perform operations on the cadaver, particularly the ligature of
arteries in their continuity, amputations, trephining, and tracheotomy.
For further information see - clinics."
GYNECOLOGY.
Instruction in this branch is taught by the professors of Obstet-
rics and Surgery. The system of instruction is partly by lectures,
illustrated b} T wet and dry specimens, models, and diagrams — and
partly in the sub-clinics, where methods of examination, and the use
of gynecological instruments is practically taught. The amount of
clinical material being large and constantly increasing, as well as of
great variety, instruction in this most important branch is eminently
practical in character.
PATHOLOGY AND BACTERIOLOGY.
The west hall on the second floor of the Medical Building is now
the Pathological and Bacteriological Laboratory. Here are all the
instruments necessary for the study and demonstration of Pathologi-
cal Anatomy and Pathological Histolog} T , also the apparatus usually
found in a well equipped Bacteriological Laboratory, ample for the
cultivation and demonstration of the germs of interest to medical
men. Students not only see this work done, but make all the ordin-
ary cultivations and pure cultures themselves, and prepare slides of
all the ordinary non-pathogenic and pathogenic microbes.
Three hours a week are devoted to the practical study of morbid
anatomy. The work consists of laboratory exercises, the aim being
to make this study as practical as possible, and to familiarize the
student with the use of the microscope in diagnosis. Part of the
time in the laboratory is devoted to the study of prepared speci-
mens, under the guidance of the instructor, and the remainder to
the mounting of pathological specimens by the student himself. An
abundance of material is furnished by the laboratory, and each stu-
dent is allowed to keep as his own property all the sections prepared
by him during the term. Special attention is paid to the diagnosis
14 HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
of tumors, trichinae, etc. , microscopically, and the student learns
easy and rapid methods of making preparations for such diagnosis.
Two hours a week are used for lectures supplementary, as well as
introductory to the laboratory work.
MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE.
Instruction in Medical Jurisprudence is given by the Faculty of
the Law Department, the time to be announced during the term.
INSANITY.
Lectures on Alienism and kindred topics are given toward the
close of the term, the dates announced during the year.
The number of hours occupied in this year are twenty-four each
week; five to seven hours are devoted to clinical work, three to
laboratory; the remainder to lectures and recitations.
Classes in Materia Medica, Practice, Minor Surgery, Pharmacol-
ogy, Obstetrics, Surgical Emergencies, Surgery, Gynecology, Eye
and Ear, and Paedology are in the lecture or amphitheatre room of the
Homoeopathic Hospital, in which rooms also, all the clinics are held,
Physiology, and Insanity are taught in the amphitheatre of the
Medical Department. Pathology, Histology, Chemistry, and Toxi-
cology are taught in the appropriate laboratories. Medical Juris-
prudence is taught in the lecture room of the Law Department.
CLINICS.
The clinics of this Department are open to students of all the
classes, but attendance is not obligatory in the Freshman year. All
the clinics are full, in some of them the capacity of the Hospital has
been severely taxed, notwithstanding a considerable increase in
accommodations through the generous aid of the Hahnemann Asso-
ciation of Iowa. The general arrangement and clinical system are
as follow: The House Surgeon at the commencement of the term
details three students from the Senior class as clinical assistants.
One of these retires after one weeks service, one after two weeks,
and the remaining one after three weeks. One student a week is
detailed thereafter so that each Senior student has three consecu-
tive weeks of clinical work. The duties are to assist at all clinics,
taking the different duties in rotation, and attend to all dressings in
the Hospital, under the supervision of the House Surgeon. This
gives unusual facilities for practical instruction. In the Medical
clinics each member of the Senior class will be given repeated op-
portunities for examination of patients and will be required to diag-
nose the disease and suggest method of treatment. The clinics are
largely patronized, the number of cases and the variety being fully
State University of Iowa. 15
equal to the college clinics in the larger cities. During the past
year the operative rases in the Surgical and Eye and Ear Depart-
ments gave an average of four for each clinic, quite as many as can
be utilized. The clinics are held as follows:
Medical Clinic — Thursday afternoon, service of Professor Dick-
inson.
Surgical ( lin ic Friday afternoon, service of Professor Gilchrist.
Ey< and Ear Clinic — Tuesday afternoon, service of Professor
Newberry.
Gynecological Clinic — By appointment in the sub-clinics, service
of Professor Gilchrist.
Obstetric Clinic — By appointment, service of Professor Cogswell.
The sub-clinics are held two or more times a week, to which sec-
tions of the Senior class are admitted, where opportunity is afforded
all to make examinations in g} T necological cases, and use the various
instruments of precision for purposes of diagnosis.
Medical and Surgical treatment, and nursing are free for patients
entering the general clinics. Board in the Hospital is furnished for
s7.t»0 a week.
Correspondence with reference to admission to the clinics or Hos-
pital should be had with the professor having charge of the particu-
lar clinic, or the Registrar of the Faculty. Arrangements can be
made for the reception of a limited number of obstetrical cases,
only between the 15th of September and the 15th of February.
In connection with the clinics a dispensary has recently" been
opened, where the clinical assistants, under the direction of the
Facult} T , prescribe for and visit out-patients, as well as attend such
cases of obstetrics as apply. The dispensary is growing in patron-
age and influence, so that it will soon become a highly important
and profitable portion of the work, acting at once as a "feeder" for
the clinics, and giving practical instruction to the attendants.
SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
A training school for nurses has been authorized by the Board of
Regents, and a two years' course of practical and theoretic instruc-
tion is provided. Pupil nurses are paid at the rate of $1.50 a
week, and furnished board, lodging and laundry. They are directly
under the instruction of the Matron and House Surgeon. The in-
struction given is most thorough and practical, a certificate signed
by the President of the University and the Hospital Board being
given at the close of the second year. Applications for admission
as a pupil nurse, are to be made to the Matron, Adele P. Kimball,
M. D., Homoeopathic Hospital, Iowa City, Iowa.
16 Homoeopathic Medical Department.
HOUSE SURGEON.
In January of each year applications will be received from the
Senior Class, for the position of House Surgeon. The appointment
will be by competitive examination, conducted in such manner as
the Faculty may prescribe, the subjects for examination being pre-
viously communicated to the class. Compensation is $100 for the
school year, with board and lodging. The duties of the office com-
mence and close with the college year.
THE HAHNEMANIAN SOCIETY.
This society was established several years ago, and it has been a
potent factor in promoting the scholarship of our classes, and in
bringing its members into pleasant social relations.
It holds its sessions in the Department building and aims to have
two programs a month. All new students will find it to their in-
terest to become active members.
A diploma is awarded by this society to its members who grad-
uate from the Department.
SEMINARIES.
Seminaries in Surgery, Materia Medica, and Ophthalmology have
been organized, which are designed to foster original work and in-
vestigation. Membership is optional, but the Professors reserve
the right to refuse admission to those who are unqualified for the
work. ,
LIBRARIES.
The general library of the University, in which is included the
department library, is open to students on all week days, from 8:30
A. M. to 5 P. M. The library of this department already numbers
several hundred volumes of standard medical works. The general
library of the University contains about 35,000 volumes and 1,000
pamphlets.
MUSEUM.
The general museum of the University, consisting of a large and
valuable collection of specimens, and the medical museum, are open
to students in this department. A cabinet has been provided for
this department which contains a number of valuable specimens.
Physicians are invited to send to the Registrar any specimens of
healthy, morbid, or comparative anatomy, which will be properly
labeled with the name of the donor, and placed in the museum.

Homeopathic Medical Department.
The nineteenth annual course of instruction will commence on
Wednesday, September 18th, 1895, and close on Tuesday, March
10th, 1896.
The work of the Department has been very materially changed
and enlarged, in accordance with ihe requirements of the Inter-Col-
legiate Association, and the State Board of Medical Examiners.
Those who matriculated in 1894 willlbe permitted to graduate under
the conditions in force at the time of their matriculation. Com-
mencing with the Freshman class entering in 1895, however, the
course of study will cover five years, one of which will be pre-
matriculate, under a preceptor, and four undergraduate. The classes
are, for the most part, instructed separately, the student being
required to attain a certain standing before passing into a higher
class.
THE PLAN OF WORK
In the five years is given more particularly in the following pages,
together- with the qualifications for admission into the several
classes. Men and women are admitted on absolutely equal terms,
no distinction whatever being made between them. They attend
all classes in common, and are called upon to do equal work in all
particulars. For the first time in its history, the Department is
now provided with a comfortable and commodious building, with the
Hospital under the same roof. The illustrations accompanying this
Announcement will show that little more can be asked in the way
of facilities for carrying on the work.
PRE-MATRICULATE REQUIREMENTS.
Students should not be less than eighteen years of age. They
should select as a preceptor a reputable practitioner of medicine, a
graduate of an accredited school. They should read, under the
guidance and instruction of the preceptor, Elementary Chemistry,
Physics, and Biology, as well as Anatomy, Physiology, and Medi-
cal Institutes, particularly the Organon of Hahnemann. Beyond
this they need not go, unless graduates in letters or science, when
they would find profit in a careful reading of GrauvogVs Text Book
of Homeopathy, and Ziegler's Pathogenesis, and Pathological Anat-
omy.
Beginning with the session 1896-7, the requirements for admis-
sion will be the same as to the Freshman year of the Collegiate
Department of the University, provided that one year of Latin be
included
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.
FRESHMAN YEAR.
Students must apply for registration in person, at the office of
the Registrar of the Faculty, in the College building, a day or two
before the opening of the term. They must present a certificate
from their preceptor, showing that they have read medicine for one
year, and stating specifically what the studies have been. The cer-
tificate attached to this Announcement is to be used for this pur-
pose. Applicants for registration, who have degrees in Science or
Art, who have passed the Sophomore year in a reputable college,
or have first class teacher's certificates, are admitted without pre-
liminary examination. All others will be required to submit to an
examination in English scholarship and Latin by a committee of the
Faculty, as is shown more particularly in the Schedule of Require-
ments^ ordered by the State Board of Medical Examiners, printed
on another page. Should the applicant be a graduate from some
collegiate institution recognized by the University as having an ade-
quate curriculum, and have passed in Chemistry, Physics, Biology,
or Physiology, he may become a pupil of the Faculty, and the pre-
matriculate requirements, as to preceptor, will be waived.
The fees for this course will be paid to the Secretary of the Uni-
versity, and to him only, at the commencement of the term, for
which he will issue a single ticket.
The fees for this year are as follows:
Matriculation $ 5.00
Lecture ticket 20.00
Hospital ticket 3. 00
Demonstrator's ticket 10.00
Histological laboratory 5.00
Chemical laboratory 5,00
^Breakage deposit 3. 00
tExamination fee 5.00
$56.00
The studies in this year are Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology,
Pharmacology and Institutes, Materia Medica, and Normal Histol-
ogy. Attendance at clinics is desirable but not obligatory.
The books recommended for this year, are as follows: Anatomy,
Gray; Physiology ', Dal ton, Forster; Histology, Klein; Chemistry,
Simon, or Roscoe and Schorlemmer, Andrews' Analytical. Hahne-
mann's Organon, and Dewey's Essentials of Homoeopathic Materia
Medica.
*To be refunded at the close of the course, less charges for breakage.
fPaid before the examination, at the close of the term.
6 HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The plan of work is as follows:
ANATOMY.
The lectures in Anatomy are thoroughly illustrated by all the
modern aids to teaching.
During the first half of the term comparative and descriptive
anatomy will be fully considered, while the last part of the session
will be reserved for a comple consideration of regional and surface
anatomy, accompanied by illustrations on the cadaver. Weekly
quizzes are held by a member of the Faculty of this Department, or
under his supervision, the markings assisting in fixing the standing
of the student.
PRACTICAL ANATOMY.
Satisfactory dissection of one part is made a condition of advance-
ment to the Sophomore class. The dissecting room is large, commo-
dious, and facilities for profitable work are ample. The Demon-
strator will always be ready to aid and direct the prosecution of
these studies.
Upon the completion of each course of dissection, the student will
be examined on the anatomy of the part dissected. If the charac-
ter of the dissection and the examination be satisfactory, a certifi-
cate to that effect will be given.
PHYSIOLOGY.
In this subject the inductive method is very largely employed in
imparting instruction. The lectures are profusely illustrated by
means of charts, diagrams, and black-board figures ; and the student
is rendered practically familiar with the phenomena of the most
important bodily functions in normal operation by the employment
of experiments upon living animals as a means of demonstration.
Quizzes are held weekly by a member of the Faculty of this
Department, or under his supervision, and, as in the case of anat-
omy, the markings assist in determining class-standing.
MATERIA MEDICA, INSTITUTES AND PHARMACOLOGY.
The Assistant to the chair of Materia Medica, will give one lec-
ture a week, in the first half of the year, on the Institutes of
Homoeopathy. In the last half Pharmacology will be taught in the
same manner, particular reference being made to the preparation of
drugs as used in Homoeopathic practice, as well as to the manner of
preservation and dispensing. Every effort will be made to give the
students thorough instruction in these important topics. There will
be one quiz, each week, on Materia Medica in addition to the above,
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. 7
and an examination on Institutes and the Organon at the close of
the term.
OPHTHALMOLOGY, OTOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY.
Opportunity will be given during the Sophomore year to attend
the clinics of this chair where especial demonstrations will be given
upon the clinical material present, of the Anatomy, Physiology and
Hygiene of the various organs.
HISTOLOGY.
One lecture a week will be given, many of them being illustrated
by means of the stereopticon. Two hours each week are devoted to
laboratory work, in the new histological laboratory, which is com-
modious, well-lighted, and supplied with thirty-six , new compound
microscopes, witb all necessary accessories, dissecting microscopes,
microtomes of various kinds, injecting apparatus, turn-tables, etc.
Each student is furnished a microscope, reagents and apparatus,
is taught the use of the microscope, and does, or has demonstrated
before him, the general technique of the subject of histology, hard-
ening, embedding, sectioning, staining, mounting, etc.
Histological injections are made before the class. During the
term the student prepares for himself a series of slides, illustrating
the ultimate distribution of the blood, and cellular structure of nor-
mal tissues and organs.
CHEMISTRY.
The course in chemistry consists of lectures and laboratory work.
The lectures treat first of the general principles of the science ; then
the subjects of interest to the student of medicine are discussed.
Especial attention is paid to the compounds found in the body,
with their functions and chemical changes. Medicinal and poison-
ous substances, and such as are used in practical work are also con-
sidered.
In the laboratory the student begins with tests for the metals,
particularly the poisonous ones, and passes to the analysis of com-
plex substances. He learns methods of manipulation, and becomes
acquainted with the properties and actions of reagents. In the lat-
ter part of the course, urine is studied; quantitative and qualitative
tests are made for its pathological constituents, and such normal
ones as are of importance to the physician.
The course includes the methods for the sanitary examination of
water, and those employed in quantitative analysis.
HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
MATERIA MEDICA.
During this year there will be one quiz each week, on Materia
Medica, using Dewey's Essentials, as a text-book.
A record of attendance, and standing will be kept, but no exam-
ination will be held on this topic.
Students are advised to attend all the lectures on Materia Medica
that time will permit, but will not be expected to recite.
This programme gives 27 hours a week for class work, exclusive
of clinics and Practical Anatomy, which would add 12 hours for a
portion of the time. Of this ten hours are devoted to laboratory
work, three to five to clinical, three to recitations, and the remainder
to lectures.
At the close of the year final examinations are held in Chemistry
Histology, Osteology, Physiology to digestion, and Institutes, which
if successfully passed will carry the student to the Sophomore class
In the event of failure to pass any one of these examinations the stu-
dent may enter the higher class, conditioned upon completing his
standing at or before the close of the Sophomore year. A failure in
two (or more) studies will stop further advancement until the condi-
tions are satisfied.
SOPHOMORE YEAR.
Admission to the second, or Sophomore class, is regularly secured
by passing from the Freshman class, the evidence being the ticket
of the Dean, and the record of the student; but students who have
taken the first year's work in other colleges, provided the curriculum
is fully up to the standard of the various State Medical Boards, and
the Inter-Collegiate Association, will be admitted to this class
upon presentation of satisfactory evidence.
The fees for this year are as follows, and must be paid to the
Secretary of the University, and to him only, at the commencement
of the term, for which he will issue a single ticket:
Physiological Chemistry $ 5.00
Lecture fee 20.00
Anatomy ticket 10. 00
Hospital ticket 3.00
•Examination fee 10 .00
$48.00
Students from other colleges will be required to pay a matricula-
tion fee of five dollars, and examination fee of fifteen dollars.
#To be paid at the close of the term, prior to examination.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. 9
The studios taken this year will be: Anatomy, Physiology, Gen-
eral Pathology, Physiological Chemistry, Materia Medica, Practice,
and Minor Surgery; also attendance at all clinics.
The books recommended are as follows. Anatomy and Physiol-
ogy, as in the Freshman year. Practice, Dickinson, Arndt's System of
Medicine: Kane. Special Pathology. Surgery, G-ilchrist's, Sargent's,
or Martins Essentials Materia Medica, Farrington, Clinical Materia
Bfedica; Cowperthwaite Physiological Chemistry, Pellow; Purdy
on Urinalysis.
The plan of work is as follows: Anatomy and Physiology the
same as in the Freshman Year, final examination, however, will be
held at the close of the year, by a member of the Faculty of this
Department. Practical Anatomy is also completed, the examination
to be conducted by the Demonstrator of Anatomy.
MATERIA MEDIC A.
There will be three lectures a week, on this fundamental branch,
with occasional recitations and special quizzes. The remedies are
divided into two groups, one of which will be discussed one year,
the other the next. A brief review of the toxicological and physi-
ological effect of the drug will first be given, then the characterist-
ics and most prominent symptoms. Especial attention will be given
to the grouping of these symptoms, for therapeutic purposes, and
comparing them with a similar group of other drugs which may be
useful for the same disease.
THEORY AND PRACTICE.
General and special Pathology will be taught, according to the
latest investigations into the aetiology aad nature of the disease. It
will be the aim of the occupant of this chair, to only teach that
which has secured the sanction of competent observers, and which
has been confirmed by abundant clinical experience. In teaching
the relation of drug pathogensis to semeiology, the well-established
principles of Homoeopathic Therapeutics will be closely and consist-
ently followed. Two lectures a week will be given to the Sopho-
more class. Clinics will be for all classes, but attendance by the
Freshman class will be optional.
The teaching is both didactic and clinical. The lecture room
being under the same roof with the hospital, furnishes admirable
opportumties for bed-side instruction. The lectures will be illus-
trated by diagrams, wax and papier - , maehe models, and pathological
specimens from the museum of the College in order to enhance their
usefulness. No efforts will be spared to prepare the student to
become a successful practitioner.
IO HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
OPHTHALMOLOGY, OTOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY.
While attendance upon didactic lectures and recitations will not
be required, opportunity will be given to attend the weekly clinics
where the anatomy of the various organs will be especially demon-
strated for the benefit of the students in this year.
MINOR SURGERY.
One lecture, and demonstration, will be given each week, on all
topics falling under this head, including bandaging, care of instru-
ments, surgical dressings, and minor operations'.
PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY.
The lectures are in explanation and amplification of the laboratory
work. The latter includes the study of the proximate principles of
the body, and of their chemical changes. Artificial digestive experi-
ments are made, their products being isolated and tested. The con-
stituents of the blood are tested, together with the methods for
identification of stains. The qualitative tests for the abnormal con-
stituents of the urine follow, and the quantitative determination of
such as are of importance. The course is completed by the identi-
fication of urinary sediments and calculi; and the analysis of various
pathological specimens of urine.
The number of hours occupied each week is twenty-six. From
three to five is given to clinical work, the remainder to lectures and
laboratory work. During a portion of the time, ranging from three
to four weeks, 12 hours additional is given to Practical Anatomy.
At the close of the year examinations will be held in Anatomy,
Physiology, Physiological Chemistry, and Minor Surgery which if
successful, passes the student to the Junior year. A failure in any
one of these subjects, imposes a condition on the student, which must
be satisfied before the close of the Junior year. A failure in two or
more studies stops advancement, the student being required to
complete this year's work the following year, when, if he fails again,
he will be dropped.
JUNIOR YEAR.
Admission to the Junior year, is gained by passing the required
examinations in the Sophomore year, which fact is certified by the
ticket of the Dean. Students coming from other colleges, recognized
by the State Boards and Inter-Collegiate Association, who have
proper credentials, showing that they have pursued the required cur-
riculum, and passed successfully the necessary examinations, may
be admitted to this class, in the discretion of the Faculty,
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. II
The fees are to be paid at the commencement of the term to the
Secretary of the University, and to him only, for which he will issue
a single ticket.
Pathological laboratory $ 5.00
Lecture fees 20.00
Hospital ticket 3. 00
Kxamination fee 10.00
$38.00
Students from other colleges will be required to pay a matricula-
tion fee of five dollars, and an examination fee of twenty dollars,
in addition to the above.
The studies taken in this year will be: Materia Medica, Theory
and Practice, Surgical Emergencies, Obstetrics, Ophthalmology,
Pathology, Bacteriology, Toxicology, Applied Anatomy, and Phys-
iology, and attendance on all clinics.
The books required are: Surgery, Homoeopathic Text Book of
Surgery, Gilchrist's Syllabus, Helmuth. Ophthalmology, etc.,
Norton, Angell, or BufFum, on the Eye; Winslow, Houghton, Bur-
nett on the Ear; Ivins, or Brown, on Nose and Throat. Toxicology,
Reese, or Wormley. Pathology, Green, Ziegler. Practice, Goodno
Arndt and Raue's Special Pathology for references; in addition to
the text-books recommended in the Sophomore year, Pepper, Osier,
or Stevens' Manual of Practical Medicine. Obstetrics, Guernsey
Croserio and Lusk.
The list of books recommended for the various years is carefully
selected, and represents a good working library for the practitioner.
While it is not necessary that the student procure more than one on
any subject it will be found a material advantage to the graduate if
he possesses all of them.
The plan of work for this year is as follows : Practice and Materia
Medica will be taught as already given in the Sophomore year.
OPrHALMOLOGY AND OTOLOGY.
Instruction in diseases of the eye and ear will be both didactic
and clinical. Special stress is laid upon the diagnosis and treat-
ment of those diseases which will most often present themselves in
the work of the general practitioner. The didactic teaching is illus-
trated by models and drawings. The clinics are large and varied,
opportunity being thus given to examine and treat the cases pre-
*To be paid at the elosc of the term, prior to examination. Students taking
two years in another eollege must pay $25.00.

sented, thus giving familiarity with every form of disease in this
branch of medicine. Each student is expected to become accus-
tomed to the use of the ophthalmoscope, and other instruments
used, in the diagnosis and treatment of cases.
LARYNGOLOGY AND RHINOLOGY.
Instruction is given in Rhinology and Laryngology by weekly lec-
tures and clinics. Students are assigned cases for treatment, and
given ample opportunity to become expert in the use of the laryn-
goscope, rhinoscope, and other instruments employed in the diagno-
sis and treatment of the various diseases.
TOXICOLOGY.
Instruction in this branch is given by means of weekly lectures,
supplemented by quizzes. The general principles are first consid-
ered, then the most important of the poisons are treated separately.
OBSTETRICS.
The plan of instruction in this branch, will be the usual didactic
method supplemented by demonstrations with wet and dry prepara-
tions, models and diagrams; together with clinical practice when-
ever possible. Two lectures a week are given, with occasional
quizzes and recitations. The scheme is designed to carry the student
forward, after thorough instruction in the anatomy of the pelvis
and generative apparatus, through ovulation, menstruation, gesta-
tion, and normal labor, with the various abnormalities of the lying-
in period. The use of obstetric instruments is taught on the mani-
kin, and every care taken to thoroughly prepare the students for
dealing with complications. Dystochia, and all forms of abnormal
gestation and labor are given in the closing portion of the course.
The central idea is to give the practical preference over the merely
theoretical.
SURGICAL EMERGENCIES.
The work of this year in Surgery, will consist of two lectures a
week throughout the year, with frequent quizzes and recitations,
taking up the subjects included in what is called "Acute Surgery."
As this is a branch of practice that all practitioners should be pre-
pared to exercise, no pains will be spared to impart instruction.
Anesthesia, wounds, hemorrhage, shock, fractures and dislocations
will be among the topics discussed. Illustrations on the cadaver,
as well as the living subject, will form an essential feature in this
course.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. 1 3
PATHOLOGY AM) BACTERIOLOGY.
The west hall on the second floor of the Medical Building is now
the Pathological and Bacteriological Laboratory. Here are all the
instruments necessary for the study and demonstration of Pathologi-
cal Anatomy and Pathological Histology, also the apparatus usually
found in a well equipped Bacteriological Laborator} 7 , ample for the
cultivation and demonstration of the germs of interest to medical
men. Students not only see this work done, but make all the
ordinary cultivations and pure cultures themselves, and prepare
slides of all the ordinary non-pathogenic and pathogenic microbes.
Three hours a w r eek are devoted to the practical study of morbid
anatomy. The work consists of laboratory exercises, the aim being
to make this study as practical as possible, and to familiarize the
student with the use of the microscope in diagnosis. Part of the
time in the laboratory is devoted to the study of prepared speci-
mens under the guidance of the instructor, and the remainder to
the mounting of pathological specimens by the student himself. An
abundance of material is furnished by the laboratory, and each stu-
dent is allowed to keep as his own property all the sections prepared
by him during the term. Special attention is paid to the diagnosis
of tumors, trichinae, etc., microscopically, and the student learns
easy and rapid methods of making preparations for such diagnosis.
Two hours a week are used for lectures, supplementary as well as
introductory to the laboratory work.
PAEDOLOGY.
One lecture or recitation a week is given on the 'diseases of chil-
dren, supplementing the course on Theory and Practice. The sub-
jects taken up are consequently the diseases of infancy, as well as
early childhood, and while largely treated by the didactic method,
clinical demonstrations are used whenever possible. — Text Books —
Tooker, Duncan or Smith.
At the close of the term final examinations are taken in Bacteriol-
ogy, Surgical Emergencies, Applied Anatomy and Physiology,
which, being successful, will pass the student to the Senior class,
the evidence being the ticket issued by the Dean. A failure in any
one study will impose a condition, to be satisfied before the close of
the Senior year. A failure to pass a second examination will stop
advancement. A failure in two studies, will make it necessary to
repeat the year's work before admission to a higher class.
SENIOR YEAR.
Admission to the Senior year is gained by successfully passing
all the examinations in the preceding year, certified by the Dean in

a ticket issued by him. Students coming from other colleges, recog-
nized by the various State Boards, and Inter-collegiate association,
by giving evidence that they have pursued the required curriculum,
and passed successfully the necessary examinations, may be admit-
ted to this class, in the discretion of the Faculty.
The fees are to be paid at the commencement of the term to the
Secretary of the University, and to him only, for which he will
issue a single ticket.
Pathological laboratory $ 5.00
Lecture fees 20.00
Hospital ticket 3.00
^Examination fee 10. 00
$38.00
Students from other colleges will be required to pay a matricula-
tion fee of five dollars, and an examination fee of twenty-five dol-
lars, in addition to the above.
The studies taken this year will be: Materia Medica, Theory and
Practice, Surgery, Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Special
Pathology, Medical Jurisprudence. Dentistry, Insanity, and attend-
ance on all clinics.
The books required are as in the Junior year, in all departments,
with. the addition of Obstetric Surgery, by Grandin and Jarman.
The plan of work will be as follows:
Materia Medica, Practice, Obstetrics, Ophthalmology, Otology,
Larnygology,and Rhinology, will be con tinued, with the exception
that the work will be less didactic, and more in the nature of reci-
tations with such actual clinical practice as can be made available,
students being required to treat cases assigned to them.
SURGERY.
The work in Surgery will consist of four lectures a week, with
frequent quizzes and recitations, in addition to the clinical, sub-
clinical and hospital work to be described elsewhere. The subjects
taken up will be largely in the domain of major surgery, and surgi-
cal pathology, the principles of the science being carefully discussed,
the application of them demonstrated on the cadaver, in the clinics,
sub-clinics, and daily hospital work. The student will be required
to perform operations on the cadaver, particularly the ligature of

arteries in their continuity, amputations, trephining, and tracheot-
omy. For further information see "clinics."
Medical Jurisprudence, Insanity, and Dentistry, will be treated
in short courses of lectures, given by appointment.
The number of hours occupied in this year are twenty-four each
week; five to seven hours are devoted to clinical work, three to
laboratory; the remainder to lectures and recitations.
Classes in Materia Medica, Practice, Minor Surgery, Pharmacol-
ogy, Obstetrics, Surgical Emergencies, Surgery, Gynecology, Eye
and Ear, and Paedology are in the lecture or amphitheatre room of
the Homoeopathic Hospital, in which rooms also, all the clinics are
held. Physiology, and Insanity are taught in the amphitheatre of
the Medical Department. Pathology, Histology, Chemistry, and
Toxicology are taught in the appropriate laboratories. Medical Jur-
isprudence is taught in the lecture room of the Law Department.
CLINICS.
The clinics of this Department are open to students of all the
classes, but the attendance is not obligatory in the Freshman year.
All the clinics are full, in some of them the capacity of the Hospital
has been severely taxed. The general arrangement and clinical system
are as follows: The House Surgeon at the Commencement of the term
details three students from the Senior class as clinical assistants.
One of these retires after one weeks service, one after two weeks,
and the remaining one after three weeks. One student a week is
detailed thereafter so that each Senior student has three consecu-
tive weeks of clinical work. The duties are to assist at all clinics,
taking the different duties in rotation, and attend to all dressings in
the Hospital, under the supervision of the House Surgeon, This
gives unusual facilities for practical instruction. In the Medical
clinics each member of the Senior class will be given repeated oppor-
tunities for examination of patients and will be required to diagnose
the disease and suggest method of treatment. The clinics are largely
patronized, the number of cases and the variety being fully equal
to the college clinics in the larger cities. During the past year the
operative cases in the Surgical and Eye and Ear Departments gave
an average of four for each clinics, quite as many as can be utilized.
The clinics are held as follows:
Medical Clinic — Thursday afternoon, service of Professor Dick-
inson.
Surgical Clinic — Friday afternoon, service of Professor Gil-
christ .
Eye and Ear Clinic — Tuesday afternoon, service of Professor
Newberry.
1 6 HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
Gynecological Clinic — By appointment in the sub-clinics, service
of Professor Gilchrist.
ric Clinic — By appointment, service of Professor Coos-
well.
The sub-clinics are held two or more times a week, to which sec-
tions of the Senior class are admitted, where opportunity is afforded
all to make examinations in gynecological case^, and use the various
instruments of precision for purposes of diagnosis.
Medical and Surgical treatment, and nursing are free for patients
entering the general clinics Board in the Hospital is furnished for
$7.00 a week.
Correspondence with reference to admission to the clinics or Hos-
pital should be had with the professor having charge of the particu-
lar clinic, or the Registrar of the Faculty. Arrangements can be
made for the reception of a limited number of obstetrical cases,
only between the 15th of September and the 15th of February.
In connection with the clinics a dispensary has recently been
opened, where the clinical assistants, under the direction of the
Faculty, prescribe for and visit out-patients, as well as attend such
cases of obstetrics as apply. The dispensary is growing in patron-
age and influence, so that it will soon become a nighty important
and profitable portion of the work, acting at once as a "feeder" for
the clinics, and giving practical instruction to the attendants.
SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
A training school for nurses has been authorized by the Board of
Regents, and a two years' course of practical and theoretic instruc-
tion is provided. Pupil nurses are paid at the rate of $1.50 a week,
and furnished board, lodging and laundry. They are directly under
the instruction of the Matron and House Surgeon. The instruction
given is most thorough and practical, a certificate signed by the
President of the University and the Hospital Board being given at
the close of the second year. Applications for admission as a pupil
nurse, are to-be made to the Matron, Adele P. Kimball, M. D. ,
Homoeopathic Hospital, Iowa City, Iowa.

lo raise the standard of medical education and have each adopted a
curriculum of stud) greatly in advance of former years, this Board
under our presenl law and the decision of the Supreme Court there-
STATE UNIVERSITY OE IOWA. 21

The twentieth annual course of instruction will open on
Wednesday, September 16, 1896, and close on Tuesday, March
17, 1897. The opening lecture will be given by Prof. Dickin-
son at 4 o'clock p. m. in the amphitheater. The course of
study extends over five years, one year being pre-matriculate,
under a preceptor, and four years under-graduate. Men and
women are admitted on absolutely equal terms, no distinction
whatever being made between them. The large and well
equipped laboratories in the University, the hospital facilities
afforded by the union of college and hospital under one roof,
and the opportunity for collateral study in any department of
literature or science, furnishes facility for securing an education
in medicine not to be surpassed. The fact that our under-
graduates are frequently called upon to occupy positions as
demonstrators in other schools, is a sufficient proof of the su-
perior advantages accruing from connection with a large Uni-
versity. A course has been authorized to commence in 1896,
continuing over six (6) years, which will enable the student to
attain the degree of B. S., in addition to the medical degree.
admission:
The requirements for admission are the same in all depart-
ments of the University — viz: the possession of a diploma from
a high school approved by the University, or some equivalent,
as the completion of the Freshman year in a college of letters,
of approved standing, with a sufficient knowledge of Latin.
Failing in these requirements, the applicant for admission to the
Freshman class must pass an examination in English scholar-
ship, and Latin sufficient to admit to the Freshman class in the
Collegiate Department. Applicants for admission to advanced
standing must present evidence that they have attended one
or more sessions in a reputable medical college, and will be

admitted to such class as they may prove themselves qualified
to cuter. All applicants for admission will apply to the ex-
amining committee in the President's office, on Tuesday, or
Wednesday, September 15, or 16, 1896. If admitted they will
then report for enrollment and assignment of seats at the
Registrar's office, department building on Dubuque street. All
t\cs must be paid to the Secretary of the University, and to him
only, before the first of October following:
Advancement to higher classes is secured only by examina-
tion, oral and written, combined with the quiz record and class
standing. An average of 65 per cent, must be secured in any
one stud)- to pass that chair; an average of 70 per cent, in all
the examinations is necessary to pass to a higher class. A
failure to pass in two or more studies will stop advancement
until the conditions are satisfied. A failure in one study will
not stop advancement, but the student must pass a satisfactory
examination in that study before the close of the year to which
he is promoted. The Faculty reserve the right to determine
the class which any student shall enter, in the case of applicants
who have had one or more years in other medical schools.
Graduates of non-homoeopathic medical colleges may be ad-
mitted as post-graduate students, as follows: If an ad eundem
degree is sought they must matriculate in the University and
pa)- the lecture fee, and examination fee, passing an examina-
tion in the therapeutics of the branches taught in this Depart-
ment. If a degree is not sought a matriculation fee is to be
paid, and such laboratory expenses as may be necessary, to-
gether with a lecture fee, if a full course is taken.
Ahumri of this school will be admitted to all lectures, and
clinics free of charge.
By order of the Board of Regents no student will be enrolled
until all necessary fees have been paid.
In case any student is unable to pay the fees at the proper
time, such student may, on application to the Dean of the
Department, be granted an extension of time not to exceed
thirty days from the opening of the session.
All students who do not pay the proper fees or avail them-
selves of the provision above mentioned, will be suspended
from the Department until such fees are paid.

STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. 7
Matriculation fee is to be paid by every new student, no
matter in what class he may be entered.
ANATOMY.
Anatomy is studied during the Freshman and Sophomore
years. The course is a very thorough one, utilizing all the
modern aids to teaching. Whenever possible the student
will have the opportunity, by actual inspection of mater-
ial, to become familiar with the appearance, texture, and
physicial characters of all structures. t Practical anatomy, or
dissection is absolutely essential to promotion to higher classes,
and is most thoroughly taught, the supply of material being
abundant. Each student is required to make two dissections,
one each year. On the completion of a dissection, a rigid
examination will be held, which will entitle to a certificate to
that effect. Without such evidence of having made two dis-
sections, in a manner satisfactory to the Demonstrator, a stu-
dent cannot be examined for graduation. Text-book: Gray,
Nancredes Essentials.
PHYSIOLOGY.
Physiology is studied in the Freshman and Sophomore
years. In this subject the inductive method is very largely
employed in imparting instruction. The lectures are profusely
illustrated by means of charts, diagrams, and black-board
figures; and the student is rendered practically familiar with
the phenomena of the most important bodily functions in nor-
mal operation by the employment of experiments upon living
animals as a means of demonstration. Text-book: Flint,
Dalton, or Foster.
HISTOLOGY.
The work in this department runs through the Freshman and
Sophomore years. One lecture a week will be given, many of
them being illustrated by means of the stereoptican. Two
hours each week are devoted to laboratory work, in the new
histological laboratory, which is commodious, well-lighte I,
and supplied with thirty-six new compound microscopes, with
all necessary accessories, dissecting microscopes, microtomes
of various kinds, injecting apparatus, turn-tables, etc.
Each student is furnished a microscope, reagents and appa-
ratus, is taught the use of the microscope, and does, or has
demonstrated before him, the general technique of the subject
of histology, hardening, embedding, sectioning, staining,
mounting, etc.
8 HOMCEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
Histological injections are made before the class. During
the term the student prepares for himself a series of slides,
illustrating the ultimate distribution of the blood, and cellular
structure of normal tissues and organs. Klein's Manual of His-
tology, is the text-book used.
CHEMISTRY.
The work in Chemistry is carried on during three years. In
the Freshman year the course consists of lectures and labora-
tory work. The lectures treat first of the general principles of
the science; then the subjects of interest to the student of medi-
cine are discussed. Especial attention is paid to the com-
pounds found in the body, with their functions and chemical
changes. Medicinal and poisonous substances, and such as are
used in practical work are also considered.
In the laboratory the student begins with tests for the
metals, particularly the poisonous ones, and passes to the
analysis of complex substances. He learns methods of man-
ipulation, and becomes acquainted with the properties and
actions of reagents. In the latter part of the course, urine is
studied; quantitative and qualitative tests are made for its
pathological constituents, and such normal ones as are of im-
portance to the physician.
The course includes the methods for the sanitary examina-
tion of water, and those employed in quantitative analysis.
In the Sophomore year, Physiological Chemistry is taken
up, on the same general plan. The lectures are in explanation
and amplification of the laboratory work. The latter includes
the study of the proximate principles of the body, and of
their chemical changes. Artificial digestive experiments are
made, their products being isolated and tested. The constitu-
ents of the blood are tested, together with the methods for
identification of stains. The qualitative tests for the abnormal
constituents of the urine follow, and the quantitative deter-
mination of such as are of importance. The course is com-
pleted by the identification of urinary sediments and calculi;
and the analysis of various pathological specimens of urine.
In the Junior year, Toxicology is taken up. Instruction in
this branch is given by means of weekly lectures, supplemented
by quizzes. The general principles are first considered, then
the most important of the poisons are treated separately.
Text-books: Simon, or Roscoe and Schorlemmer, Andrews'
Analytical.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.
THEORY AND PRACTICE.
Regular attendance on this branch of medical study will
only be required of the Junior and Senior classes; but it is de-
sirable that the Sophomore class attend the lectures as often
as their other duties will permit.
General and special Pathology will be taught according to
the latest investigations into the etiology and nature of disease.
It will be the aim of the occupant of this chair to only teach
that which has secured the sanction of competent observers,
and which has been confirmed by abundant clinical experience.
In teaching the relation of drug pathogenesis to Semicology
the well established principles of Homoeopathies, Therapeutics
will be closely and consistently followed.
Attendance upon clinics will be obligatory upon Seniors,
Juniors, and Sophomores, but optional with the Freshman class.
The teaching will be didactic and clinical.
The lecture-room being under the same roof with the hos-
pital furnishes admirable opportunities for bed-side instruc-
tion. The lectures will be illustrated by diagrams, wax, and
papier-mache models, and pathological specimens from the
Museum of the college in order to enhance their usefulness.
No efforts will be spared to prepare the student to become a
successful practitioner.
The books recommended are as follows:
Dickinson's Theory and Practice ; Arndt's System of Medi-
cine ; Raue's Special Pathology ; Goodno's Practice. For refer-
ence ; Pepper's Text-book of Theory and Practice of Medicine ;
Stevens' Manual of Pathology.
OPTHALMOLOGY AND OTOLOGY,
During the Junior and Senior years instruction in diseases of
the eye and ear will be both didactic and clinical. Special
stress is laid upon the diagnosis and treatment of those dis-
eases which will most often present themselves in the work of
the general practitioner. The didactic teaching is illustrated
by models and drawings. The clinics are large and varied, op-
portunity being thus given to examine and treat the cases pre-
sented. Text-books: Norton, Buffum, Angell.
LARYNGOLOGY AND RHINOLOGY.
Instruction is given in Rhinology and Laryngology to the
Junior and Senior classes by weekly lectures and clinics.
Students are assigned cases for treatment, and given ample
opportunity to become expert in the use of the laryngoscope,
10 HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
rhinoscope, and other instruments employed in the diagnosis
and treatment of the various diseases. Text-books: Ivins or
Brown.
PEDOLOGY.
Weekly lectures and recitations are given on diseases of
children to the Junior and Senior classes. The subjects taken
up are the diseases of infancy, as well as early childhood, and
while largely treated by the didactic method, clinical demon-
strations are used whenever possible. Text-books: Tooker,
Fisher.
MATERIA MEDICA.
Students will receive instruction from this chair during the
entire course. The Freshmen will be given two lectures each
week during the first half of the year. Ten lectures will be
given on the Organon, and ten on institutes and pharmacology.
The Sophomores and Juniors will be instructed together.
Four hours each week will be devoted to lectures, recitations,
and quizzes. The remedies will be divided into two groups.
The vegetables will be considered during the term 1896-97.
A brief review of the toxicological and physiological effects of
the drug will be given, then the most prominent and character-
istic symptoms. These symptoms will be grouped as they
have been found useful for therapeutic purposes. The Seniors
will be allowed to attend and review the lectures given the
Juniors, and in addition will be given two hours each week.
These two hours will be devoted entirely to practical work.
Clinical cases will be presented for which each student will be
required to prescribe. The remedies thus presented will be
thoroughly studied and compared with others which are ap-
plicable to the various manifestations of the disease under con-
sideration.
Text-books: Organon; Dewey's, Essentials of Materia Med-
ica; Farrington's Clinical Materia Medica; Dunham's Homoeo-
pathy and Science of Therapeutics ; Malcolm and Moss' Re-
gional and Comparative Materia Medica, and Allen's Hand-
book of Materia Medica.
SURGERY.
This study extends through three years. Minor Surgery is
taught during the Sophomore year, including bandaging. In
the Junior year Surgical Emergencies is taught, including such
topics as anesthesia, shock, hemorrhage, wounds, fractures, and
dislocations. In the Senior year Surgical Pathology, general
and special, is thoroughly gone over. The method of instruc-
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. 1 I
tion is a combination of the didactic and practical. The prin-
cipal operations are made on the cadaver, and experimental
work, in the Seminary, will receive careful attention in the
Senior year. Examinations are held in each class at the close
of the year.*
The books recommended are: Sophomore, Sargents or Mar-
tin's, Minor Surgery. In the Junior year, Gilchrist's Syllabus,
and Hamilton, on Fractures and Dislocations. In the Senior
year, Fisher and Macdonald's Text-book of Surgery, and Gil-
christ's Surgical Pathology.
GYNECOLOGY.
This branch is divided between the chairs of obstetrics and
surgery. The study is pursued in the Senior year.
Medical diseases of women are considered by the chair of
obstetrics during the last half of the term. The surgical
diseases are treated during the year by the chair of surgery,
by lectures, clinics, and demonstrations. The books recom-
mended are Wood's Gynecology; Southwick's Practical Gyne-
cology.
OBSTETRICS.
This branch is taught in the Junior and Senior years. The
plan of instruction in this branch will be the usual didactic
method supplemented by demonstrations with wet and dry
preparations, models and diagrams; together with clinical prac-
tice whenever possible. Two lectures a week are given, with
occasional quizzes and recitations. The scheme is designed
to carry the student forward, after thorough instructions in the
anatomy of the pelvis and generative apparatus, through ovu-
lation, menstruation, gestation, and normal labor, with the
various abnormalities of the lying-in period. The use of ob-
stetric instruments is taught on the manikin, and every care
taken to thoroughly prepare the students for dealing with com-
plications. Dystochia, and all forms of abnormal gestation
and labor are given in the closing portion of the course. The
central idea is to give the practical preference over the merely
theoretical. The text-books recommended are: Guernsey and
Lusk; Grandin and Jarmen, Obstetric Surgery.
PATHOLOGY.
The west hall on the second floor of the Medical Building is
now the Pathological and Bacteriological Laboratory. Here
are all the instruments necessary for the study and demonstra-
*Sophomores, Seniors, and Juniors are required to attend the clinics ; Seniors are ad-
mitted to sub-clinics as detailed in sections.
12 HOMCEOPATHIC MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
tion of Pathological Anatomy and Pathological Histology,
also the apparatus usually found in a well equipped Bacterio-
logical Laboratory, ample for the cultivation and demonstra-
tion of the germs of interest to medical men. Students not
only see this work done, but make all the ordinary cultivations
and pure cultures themselves, and prepare slides of all the ordi-
nary non-pathogenic and pathogenic microbes.
Three hours a week are devoted to the practical study of
morbid anatomy. The work consists of laboratory exercises,
the aim being to make this study as practical as possible, and
to familiarize the student with the use of the microscope in
diagnosis. Part of the time in the laboratory is devoted to the
studv of prepared specimens under the guidance of the in-
structor, and the remainder to the mounting of pathological
specimens by the student himself. An abundance of material
is furnished by the laboratory, and each student is allowed to
keep as his own property all the sections prepared by him dur-
ing the term. Special attention is paid to the diagnosis of
tumors, trichinae, etc., microscopically, and the student learns
easy and rapid methods of making preparations for such
diagnosis. Two hours a week are used for lectures, supple-
mentary as well as introductory to the laboratory work.
The course in this chair is pursued in the Junior and Senior
years; the Senior course being largely laboratory work.
Text-books recommended are: Green, Dellafield and Pruden,
or Ziegler. In Bacteriology, Abbott, Crookshank, or Stern-
berg.
Medical Jurisprudence, Insanity, and Dentistry, will be
treated in short courses of lectures, given by appointment.
Classes in Materia Medica, Practice, Minor Surgery, Phar-
macology, Obstetrics, Surgical P2mergencies, Surgery, Gyne-
cology, Eye and Ear, and Paedology are in the lecture-room
or amphitheater of the Homoeopathic Hospital, in which
rooms also, all the clinics are held. Physiology, Anatomy,
and Insanity are taught in the amphitheater of the Medical
Department. Pathology, Histology, Chemistry, and Toxicol-
ogy are taught in the appropriate laboratories. Medical Juris-
prudence is taught in the lecture-room of the Law Department.
CLINICS.
The clinics of this Department are open to students of all
the classes, but the attendance is not obligatory in the Fresh-
man year. All the clinics are full, in some of them the capac-
ity of the Hospital has been severely taxed. The general ar-
rangements and clinical system arc as follows: The House Sur-
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. I 3
geon at the Commencement of the term details three students
from the Senior class as clinical assistants. One of these re-
tires after one week's service, one after two weeks, and the
remaining one after three weeks. One student a week is de-
tailed thereafter so that each Senior student has three con-
secutive weeks of clinical work. The duties are to assist at all
clinics, and attend to all dressings in the Hospital, under the
supervision of the House Surgeon. This gives unusual facili-
ties for practical instruction. In the Medical and Eye and
Ear clinics each member of the Senior class will be given re-
peated opportunities for examination of patients, and will be
required to diagnose the disease and suggest method of treat-
ment. The clinics are largely patronized, the number of cases
and the variety being fully equal to the college clinics in the
larger cities. The clinics are held as follows:
Medical Clinic. — Thursday afternoon, service of Professor
Dickinson.
Surgical Clinic. — Saturday morning, service of Professor Gil-
christ.
Eye and Ear Cliiric. — Tuesday afternoon, service of Professor
Newberry.
Gynecological Clinic, by appointment, in sub-clinics, service of
Professor Gilchrist.
Obstetrical Clinic, by appointment, service of Professor Cogs-
well.
The sub-clinics are held two or more times a week, to which
sections of the Senior class are admitted, where opportunity is
afforded all to make examinations in gynecological cases, and
the use of various instruments of precision- for purposes of
diagnosis.
Medical and Surgical treatment, and nursing are free for
patients entering the general clinics. Board in the Hospital is
furnished for $7.00 a week.
Correspondence with reference to admission to the clinics
or Hospital should be had with the professor having charge
of the particular clinic, or the Registrar of the Faculty. Ar-
rangements can be made for the reception of a limited number
of obstetrical cases, only between the 15th of September and
the 15th of February.
In connection with the clinics a dispensary has recently
been opened, where the clinical assistants, under the direction
of the Faculty, prescribe for and visit out-patients, as well as
attend such cases of obstetrics as apply. The dispensary is

growing in patronage and influence, so that it will soon be-
come a highly important and profitable portion of the work,
acting at once as a "feeder" for the clinics, and giving prac-
tical instruction to the attendant.
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
A training school for nurses has been authorized by the
Board of Regents maintaining a Pupil's Course, continuing one
year, and a Professional Course of two years. Members of the
Pupil's Course are known as Pupil Nurses. Those taking the
Professional Course are classified as Junior and Se?iior Nurses
during their first and second years, respectively, in the Hos-
pital.
Pupil Nurses receive systematic instruction. The course
includes recitations conducted by the Matron, one lesson a
week by the House Surgeon, and one lecture a week by a
member of the Faculty of the Department. The term com-
mences and closes with the medical term of the University. A
fee of five dollars will be charged, payable at the beginning of
the term to the Registrar of the Faculty.
Each Pupil Nurse may also have, if so desiring, one month's
practical work in the Hospital. The Month Probationers must
reside in the Hospital; during this month they shall receive no
remuneration, but will be at no expense for board, room, or
laundry.
At the close of the year's work, examinations will be given
to the Pupils' Class, and those who satisfactorily pass these
examinations, will receive suitable certificates. These certifi-
cates will not, however, be equivalent to the diploma given
upon completing the two years' Professional Course of the
Training School. Before a Pupil Nurse can obtain from the
Training School a diploma as a graduate of the Professional
Course, she will be required to do one year's work as a resident
nurse in the Hospital.
Candidates for admission to the Professional Course must be
not under twenty nor over thirty-five years of age, must have a
common school education, and must present two letters of
recommendation as to their capability, qualifications, and
moral character. No other examination for admission will be
required.
STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. I 5
Candidates will at first be entered upon one month's proba-
tion, during which time they will receive board, lodging, and
Laundry, but no compensation. If they are found satisfactory,
they shall at the end of the first month and during the re-
mainder of the first year, in addition to their living as above,
receive $8 a month for personal expenses, with a slight in-
crease during the second year. This sum is not to be regarded
as wages, the instruction given being in itself full compensa-
tion for all services rendered.
Those who complete the two years' Professional Course,
shall receive a suitable diploma, signed by the President of the
University and the Medical Board, and attested by the seal of
the University. The graduating exercises occur in connection
with those of the Department. For further information address
Adele P. Kimball, M. D., Matron.
BOARD AND ACCOMMODATIONS.
Good board can be obtained at from $3 to $5 a week. By
associating in clubs, students may supply themselves with
good accommodations at a material reduction from the custom-
ary prices.
Students will be furnished with all necessary information
concerning boarding by applying to the Y. M. C. A. Informa-
tion Bureau.
Students will find themselves provided with the best accom-
modation in the Medical Building for all lectures had in com-
mon with the Medical Department.
The building erected for the State Homoeopathic Hospital
is conveniently located, and contains pleasant, well-lighted
and commodious lecture-rooms, in which all the lectures and
clinics of the Department are held.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION.
To be admitted to the degree of Doctor of Medicine after
1897 in this Department, the student must exhibit to the Dean
evidence of having pursued the study of medicine for four
years; must have attended four courses of lectures of at least
six months each, the last of which shall have been in this in-
stitution; and must be twenty-one years of age.
COMBINED SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL COURSE.
Arrangements have recently been made with the Faculty of
the Collegiate Department by which it will be possible for a
student to complete the course in Science and the course in
i6

the Homoeopathic Medical Department in six years, thereby
obtaining the degrees B. S., and M. D. This combined course
is especially recommended to all students who intend to enter
the profession of medicine.
